1 End-of-Chapter Exercises For all these exercises, assume that all strings are massless and all pulleys are both massless and frictionless. We will improve our model and learn how to account for the mass of a pulley in Chapter 10. Exercises 1 12 are conceptual questions designed to see whether you understand the main concepts of the chapter. The first six exercises, in particular, are intended to give you more experience with free-body diagrams. 1. A box is placed in the middle of the floor of a truck. From the five free-body diagrams shown in Figure 5.22, which free-body diagram corresponds to the following situations? Assume the floor of the truck is horizontal at all times, and that for parts (a) - (d) the box does not slip on the floor of the truck. (a) The truck is moving at constant velocity to the right. (b) The truck is moving at constant velocity to the left. (c) The truck, while moving right, is speeding up. (d) The truck, while moving right, is slowing down. (e) The truck, while moving right, is stopping so quickly that the box slides over the floor of the truck. (f) The truck, while moving right, is speeding up so rapidly that the box slides over the floor of the truck. 2. Various possible free-body diagrams are shown in Figure 5.22 for a box on the floor of a moving truck. Imagine that you are in the back of the truck, looking Figure 5.22: Possible free-body diagrams for a box in a forward at the box. As the truck truck, for Exercises 1 and 2. makes a turn to the right, gently enough that the box does not slide over the floor of the truck, which free-body applies? Explain your choice. 3. Figure 5.23 shows five possible free-body diagrams (labeled FBD 1 through FBD 5) for a box on a ramp. (a) On the free-body diagrams, four different forces are shown. Briefly describe each of these forces and state what applies the force to the box. (b) Determine which free-body diagram, if any, matches each of the following situations: (i) the box remains at rest on the ramp; (ii) the box is sliding down the ramp, with some friction acting; (iii) the box is sliding up the ramp, which is frictionless. 4. Figure 5.23 shows five possible freebody diagrams (labeled FBD 1 through FBD 5) for a box on a ramp. Describe a situation in which the correct freebody diagram is FBD Let s say that the free-body diagrams shown in Figure 5.23 are possible freebody diagrams for a box placed on the floor of a truck that is traveling on a hill. Identify the free-body diagram that could apply in each of the following situations. For parts (a) (d), Figure 5.23: Five possible free-body diagrams for a box on a ramp, for Exercises 3 6.

2 assume the box does not slide over the floor of the truck. (a) The truck is traveling at constant velocity up the hill. (b) The truck is traveling at constant velocity down the hill. (c) The truck is at rest at a red light halfway up the hill. (d) The truck is speeding up as it climbs the hill. (e) The truck s acceleration up the hill is so large that the box slides over the floor of the truck. 6. Consider again the situation described in Exercise 5, regarding a box on the floor of a truck traveling up a hill that has a constant angle! with respect to the horizontal. Now the truck is traveling down the hill and its speed is increasing. Which of the free-body diagrams shown in Figure 5.23 could apply in that situation, assuming the box does not slide over the floor of the truck? Select all possible answers, and explain in what situation (s) each free-body diagram applies. 7. A box with a weight of mg is initially at rest on a board that is initially horizontal. The angle between the board and the horizontal,!, is gradually increased until the box starts to slide on the board. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the board is. (a) Plot a graph of the magnitude of the normal force applied to the box by the board, as a function of! from to, when! is gradually increased from zero. (b) What else could that graph represent? (c) On the same graph, plot the magnitude of the component of the force of gravity acting on the box, as a function of!, as! is gradually increased. (d) What else could the graph from part (c) represent? (e) On the same graph, plot the magnitude of the maximum possible force of static friction that could act on the box if the coefficient of static friction is reduced to (f) Briefly describe how the graphs can be used to find the angle at which the block first starts to slide on the board. 8. Three situations involving a block with a weight of 10 N and a string are shown in Figure In cases 2 and 3, the string passes through a hook on top of the block. (a) Rank these situations based on the tension in the string, from largest to smallest (e.g., 3>1=2). (b) What is the tension in the string in case 3? 9. As shown in Figure 5.25, identical 20-N boxes are placed on identical horizontal surfaces. Each box has a string attached that passes over a pulley. In Case 1, the other end of the string is attached to a block with a weight of 8.0 N. In case 2, you simply exert an 8.0 N force straight down on the string. In both cases, enough friction acts on the box to keep the box at rest. (a) In which case is the force of friction acting on the box larger? (b) In which case is the tension in the string larger? (c) Calculate the force of friction acting on the box, and the tension in the string, in case 1. (d) What, if anything, can you say about the coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface in case 1? Figure 5.24: Three different situations of a block being supported by a string, for Exercise 8. Figure 5.25: Two situations of a 20-N box on a level surface, for Exercise A box of mass m is placed on a frictionless ramp inclined at an angle of! with respect to the horizontal. The ramp has a mass M and is on a frictionless horizontal surface. If the ramp remained at rest, the box would slide down the incline, but if the ramp is given a Chapter 5 Applications of Newton s Laws Page 5-21

(b) Use the triangle to determine the acceleration of the system. 11. A disk is placed on a turntable at some distance from the center of the turntable. When the turntable rotates, the disk moves along with it without slipping. Which force, forces, or force components give rise to the disk s centripetal acceleration? 12. Take a metal coat hanger and stretch it out, as shown in Figure It is best if a straight line through the hook of the hanger passes through the top vertex of the hanger, as shown by the dashed line in the figure. Holding the hanger vertically, balance a penny on the hook. After getting the hanger to rock back and forth on your finger, make the penny and coat hanger rotate so that at some times the penny is completely upside down. The penny should remain on the hanger at all times! (Bonus points if you can bring the system to a stop without the penny falling off.) Explain how this is possible. Figure 5.26: Spin a penny on the end of a stretched-out metal coat hanger, for Exercise 12.

You pull a box, which has a weight of 20 N, across a horizontal floor at a constant velocity of 5.0 m/s. You do this by exerting a 10 N force horizontally on a string attached to the box. The goal here is to find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor. Parts (a) (e) as described above. (f) Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor. 14. Repeat Exercise 13, except that now the string between the box and your hand is at an angle of 30 with the horizontal, so your 10 N force has a component directed vertically up. 15. A box with a mass of 2.5 kg is initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. You then pull on a string attached to the box, exerting a constant force F at an angle of 45 above the horizontal. This pull causes the box to travel 4.0 m horizontally in 2.0 s.

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the ramp and the box is 0.20, and the ramp is inclined at 30 with respect to the horizontal. Our goal here is to determine what force you push the box with, if the box travels at constant speed up the ramp and the force you exert is parallel to the ramp. Parts (a) (e) as described above. (f) What is the magnitude of the force you exert on the box? Use g = 9.8 m/s Three blocks, A, B, and C, are connected by massless strings, as shown in Figure The two strings pass over massless frictionless pulleys. The mass of block A is ma = 4.00 kg. The mass of block B is mb = 8.00 kg. Use g = 10.0 m/s 2. Our first goal will be to determine the acceleration of the system if the mass of block C is mc = 8.00 kg. Let s start by assuming that the table supporting block B is frictionless. Parts (a)-(e) as described above. (f) What is the acceleration of the system if mc = 8.00 kg? (g) What would the mass of the block C have to be for the system to have no acceleration? (h) If the coefficient of static friction between block B and the table is µs = 0.300, the system will remain at rest if the mass of block C is between a maximum value mcmax and a minimum value mcmin. What are mcmax and mcmin? (i) If the mass of block C is 5.00 kg, what is the force of friction exerted on block B by the table? Assume the system remains at rest.

The coefficients of friction between each box and the surface are and. Use g = 10 m/s 2, and consider case 1 only. If the horizontal force F is 40 N, what are (a) the acceleration of the system? (b) the net force acting on the 2.0 kg block? (c) the force exerted by the 5.0 kg block on the 2.0 kg block? Figure 5.39: Two situations involving three blocks being pushed from the left by a horizontal force F, for Exercises Repeat Exercise 54, but now answer the questions for case 2, instead. 56. You get off a bus, take a plastic cube out of your pocket, and hold the cube against the front of the bus, which is vertical. When the bus starts to move, you carefully let the cube go, and step away from the bus. As the bus accelerates at 4.0 m/s 2, you notice that the cube remains in place on the front of the bus. What does this tell you about the coefficient of static friction between the cube and the bus? 57. While on a train, you are holding a string with a ball attached to it. At first, the train s velocity is constant and the string is vertical. When the train changes direction while going around a curve with a radius of 200 m, you measure the angle between the string and the vertical to be 20. What is the speed of the train? Chapter 5 Applications of Newton s Laws Page 5-29

The turntable begins to rotate, gradually spinning faster as its rate of rotation increases at a steady rate. The speed of the puck, as a function of time, is given by. The coefficients of friction between the puck and the turntable are and. (a) Assuming the force of friction is directed toward the center of the turntable, determine at what time the puck starts to slide on the turntable. Plot graphs, as a function of time, of (b) the maximum possible force of static friction, and (c) the magnitude of the actual force of friction acting on the puck. 59. A cube of mass m is placed in a funnel that is rotating around the vertical axis shown in Figure There is no friction between the cube and the funnel, but the funnel is rotating at just the right speed needed to keep the cube rotating with the funnel. The cube travels in a circular path of radius r, and the angle between the vertical and the wall of the funnel is!. Express your answers in terms of m, r, g, and/or!. (a) Which force, forces, or force components give rise to the centripetal acceleration in this situation? (b) What is the normal force acting on the cube? (c) What is the speed v of the cube? Figure 5.40: A cube in a rotating funnel, for Exercises 59 and Return to the situation described in Exercise 59, except now there is some friction between the cube and the funnel. Let s use the following values:! = 45, m = 500 grams, r = 20 cm, and g = 9.8 m/s 2, with coefficients of friction between the cube and the funnel of and. (a) What is the cube s speed, if there is no force of friction acting on the cube? (b) What are the maximum and minimum values that the cube s speed can be, so that the cube will not slide up or down in the funnel? 61. Matt, with a mass of 22.0 kg, is swinging on a tire swing (a tire attached to a rope hanging from a tree). The tire itself has a mass of 5.0 kg, and the rope has a length of 4.0 m. (a) If Matt s speed is 3.0 m/s when the tire reaches the bottom of its circular arc, what is the tension in the rope at that point? (b) Matt s father, Bob, thinks that the tire swing looks like fun. If the rope will break when the tension exceeds 750 N, is it safe for Bob to jump on the swing with Matt, should Bob swing by himself, or should he not swing at all? Justify your answer. Bob s mass is 70.0 kg, and he would reach the same 3.0 m/s speed that Matt does at the bottom of the swing. 62. You are traveling on a hilly road. At a particular spot, when your car is perfectly horizontal, the road follows a circular arc of some unknown radius. Your speedometer reads 80 km/h, and your apparent weight is 30% larger than usual. (a) Are you at the bottom of a hill or the top of a hill at that instant? (b) What is the radius of the circular arc? Chapter 5 Applications of Newton s Laws Page 5-30
